This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
What is this loneliness without you?
Yeah a sky without its stars
A heart without its love
Why do you seem so very far?
They say that you are closer
They say that you are near
I cannot see or feel you,
yet these eyes of mine are clear
Are you made from magic?
Are you made from wishful thinking?
I'll keep on believing if you keep my boat from sinking
We're both in this together
Keep away from stormy weather
Never get me back home to you
There's many roads and many paths that lead to you
Some say their false but I believe all of them are true
Hey, all of them are true
The green earth and the sky blue
Yeah, baby baby I'm a fool
A fool without you
A fool without you
Yeah well I have come to learn that all the jackals have their say
Howlin' to the moon trying to remedy their pain
Pain of separation
Looking for a love gone lost
Mountains high, valleys low
Whatever it's the cost
I may be a dreamer, yeah, but I believe in faith
Only in the darkness can you see the stars ablaze
In my darkest hour I shall keep my strength and say,
"Go and let your fire live, yeah"
There's many roads and many paths that lead to you
Some say their false but I believe all of them are true
All of them are true
The green earth and the sky blue
Yeah baby baby I'm a fool
A fool without you
There's many roads and many paths that lead to you
Some say their false but I believe all of them are true
All of them are true
The green earth and the sky blue
Yeah baby baby I'm a fool
A fool without you
A fool without you
Yeah a sky without its stars
A heart without its love
Why do you seem so very far?
They say that you are closer
They say that you are near
I cannot see or feel you,
yet these eyes of mine are clear
Are you made from magic?
Are you made from wishful thinking?
I'll keep on believing if you keep my boat from sinking
We're both in this together
Keep away from stormy weather
Never get me back home to you
There's many roads and many paths that lead to you
Some say their false but I believe all of them are true
Hey, all of them are true
The green earth and the sky blue
Yeah, baby baby I'm a fool
A fool without you
A fool without you
Yeah well I have come to learn that all the jackals have their say
Howlin' to the moon trying to remedy their pain
Pain of separation
Looking for a love gone lost
Mountains high, valleys low
Whatever it's the cost
I may be a dreamer, yeah, but I believe in faith
Only in the darkness can you see the stars ablaze
In my darkest hour I shall keep my strength and say,
"Go and let your fire live, yeah"
There's many roads and many paths that lead to you
Some say their false but I believe all of them are true
All of them are true
The green earth and the sky blue
Yeah baby baby I'm a fool
A fool without you
There's many roads and many paths that lead to you
Some say their false but I believe all of them are true
All of them are true
The green earth and the sky blue
Yeah baby baby I'm a fool
A fool without you
A fool without you

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
"I may be a dreamer, yeah, but I believe in faith Only in the darkness can you see the stars ablaze"
Speaks right to me.
Stop trying to pick everything apart; that's where people become miserable. I mean, to be so arrogant as to think we are more intelligent that He who created us. "If I can't figure it out (or there is no physical proof) it can't be real"... It's meant for us not to "know" yet; it's part of the journey. And personally, I like not knowing. I like that I can completely put my trust/hope into a Higher Power. I feel sad for those who can't/don't.
"Yeah well I have come to learn that all the jackals have their say Howlin' to the moon trying to remedy their pain"
So true and so sad.
than* He who created us.
